Reply #28: OK, you've changed the subject now -- I assume you cede my first point

On your NEW point, I actually do think * would have threatened to leave the troops out there unfunded. However, I highly doubt the Rethug congresscritters would have allowed that.

As far as the Dems being blamed goes, I have two responses:

1) It's immoral to play politics with the lives of our soldiers
1a) Just because * does it, it's still immoral

2) Look at all the stupid fucking things the Rethugs have done since Reagan that just were accepted because they were done with conviction. The Dems need to grow some spines and start doing the same. And if they won't, we should.

Stop enabling, stop excusing. They betrayed the people who elected them, and they shouldn't be allowed to spin their way out of it.
